Abstract
What type of bacteria or fungi or found on hands. There are ways to find out what lives on your hand one is taking a swab form your hand and put it on a petri dish allow thing to grew. This lab we found mainly yeast as for the fungi petri dish and for bacteria there was Staphylococcus epidermidis on the hand. So, after doing all of this we learned that there are many things living on your hand and that most of them are harmful. The thing that we found are commonly found in every hand and don’t harm us if indigested.
